14 DAY TRIAL // EA Mobile, Harmonix and MTV Games have recently announced the availability of Rock Band for iPhone and iPod touch. Earlier confirmed by EA via an advertisement, the game is now immediately available for download via Apple’s App Store, featuring 20 full-length songs, and the ability to purchase more right from within the app.
“Fans of ROCK BAND are going to be blown away when they play this iconic franchise on their iPhone or iPod touch for the first time, and see how we’ve utilized new 3.0 OS features for this game,” Travis Boatman, VP Worldwide Publishing for EA Mobile, said.
“Not only are we delivering on a finely tuned ROCK BAND experience, we’re innovating with four-player Bluetooth Multiplayer, and even allowing players to connect on Facebook to form a band with friends. We’re also taking advantage of In App Purchasing, so players can add music to the game as downloadable content. We really feel that this feature line up for the iPhone and iPod touch has allowed us to create a true social gaming experience that delivers on the awesomeness of ROCK BAND.”
“We’re always looking for new ways to let our audience engage with music,” Alex Rigopulos, CEO and Co-Founder of Harmonix, added. “The iPhone and iPod touch have become such a central fixture in people’s musical lives, so naturally we wanted to extend the ROCK BAND play experience to these platforms. We’re really pleased with how the game came out, and we think this is a version of ROCK BAND that people will thoroughly enjoy.”
According to the official iTunes description, Rock Band for iPhone and iPod touch is available in English in the US, Canada, UK, Italy, Germany, Spain, Australia and New Zealand. Additional language support will be added in the future, at which point the game will become available globally, EA Mobile says.
